Small Moves & Few-Item Moving Boston
Need to move a dresser, desk, bed, a few pieces of furniture or the contents of a smaller apartment? Mr Home Guy handles selected small moves and few-item moving projects throughout Boston and Greater Boston when a full-scale moving company may be more than you need.
Built in Boston. Still Local. Still Mr Home Guy.
We've been serving Boston neighbors since 2008. We're a local home-service company that understands the reality of Boston moves: narrow staircases, elevators, parking, apartment buildings and furniture that somehow looked much smaller when you bought it.
Not Every Move Needs a Moving Truck Convoy
What Is a Small Move?
A small move is exactly what it sounds like: a moving project involving a limited number of belongings or furniture pieces rather than an entire large household.
Maybe you're moving a bedroom set between apartments. Maybe a college student only has a desk, bed, boxes and a few pieces of furniture. Maybe you're taking several items to storage or moving furniture from one family member's home to another.
Those jobs can fall into an awkward middle ground—too much for your car, but not always enough to justify a traditional full-house moving company.
Common Small-Move Projects
The Kinds of Moves We Can Often Help With
Few-Item Moves
A dresser, desk, table, bed or several manageable pieces going from one location to another.
Small Apartment Moves
Selected smaller apartment moves with a limited amount of furniture and belongings.
Student Moves
Smaller moves for students changing apartments, dorms or local housing.
Storage Moves
Move qualifying furniture and household items into or out of a storage facility.
Furniture Transfers
Move selected furniture between family homes, apartments or nearby locations.
Room-to-Room Projects
For projects within the same home or building, our furniture moving and rearranging service may be an even better fit.
Just a Few Things?
Moving One, Two or a Few Pieces of Furniture
Sometimes the entire move is a bed, dresser, desk and a few boxes.
That's very different from packing and relocating an entire household. For qualifying projects, we can focus on the specific pieces you need moved instead of treating every project like a full residential move.
- Beds and bed frames
- Dressers
- Desks
- Tables
- Selected chairs
- Selected shelving
- Boxes and household items
- Other qualifying furniture
When the Furniture Is Too Big
Furniture Disassembly Can Be Part of the Solution
Sometimes the hardest part of a Boston move isn't the distance. It's getting the furniture through the building.
Qualifying beds, desks, tables and other furniture may need partial disassembly before they can fit through a narrow staircase, elevator or doorway.
See our Furniture Disassembly & Reassembly Boston service for more information.
Boston Moving Reality
Stairs, Elevators, Parking & Old Buildings
A five-mile move in Boston can sometimes require more planning than a much longer move somewhere else.
Narrow Staircases
Older apartments and brownstones may require careful planning or furniture disassembly.
Elevator Reservations
Some condos and high-rises require advance elevator scheduling or building approval.
Parking & Loading
Access near both the pickup and destination affects how efficiently the project can be completed.
Long Hallways
Distance from the loading area to the apartment can matter even when an elevator is available.
Building Rules
Condo associations and property managers may have moving-hour, insurance or loading requirements.
Furniture Size
Knowing dimensions, stairs and elevator size ahead of time helps prevent surprises on moving day.
The Right Size Project
Small Moves Are Different From Full-Service Moving
We Focus on Selected Smaller Moving Projects
Mr Home Guy is not trying to replace a large household moving company. Our small-move service is intended for projects involving a limited number of furniture pieces, belongings or smaller apartment moves that fit our scheduling, vehicle and crew capabilities.
Some moves may require more than one technician depending on furniture size, stairs, building access and the number of items.
Send photos of the larger pieces, the pickup and destination information, and details about stairs or elevators so we can evaluate the project properly.
Students & Smaller Apartments
Moving Around Boston Without Moving an Entire House
Boston has a huge population of students, renters and people moving between smaller apartments.
Those moves often involve a smaller collection of belongings: a bed, desk, dresser, television, a few boxes and the things needed to set up the next apartment.
You can also visit our Boston student services and Boston apartment move-in services pages for related help.
The Move Is Only the Beginning

One of the advantages of Mr Home Guy is that moving a few pieces doesn't necessarily have to be the end of the project.

Your Boston Neighbor
A Smaller Move Doesn't Make It a Small Deal to You
Maybe you're moving three pieces instead of thirty. You still want someone to show up, communicate clearly and treat your belongings and building with respect.
Mr Home Guy has served Boston since 2008. Small moves are one part of our broader Boston Home Task Services for the projects that fall between doing it yourself and hiring a large specialty company.
